Private Investigator Marketing

Since starting my first private investigation agency in Lafayette, LA (building and selling it just 3 years later) and then starting a new PI business (CompassPoint Investigations) again in Texas, only to move and start all over in Florida a few years later - the one thing I understand very well is private investigator marketing.

I have been blessed to have had several start-ups grow up and become very successful by almost anyone's measure, but these success were not a fluke or by chance. My good fortune has come through a great deal of hard work and my passion for making money.

That's right my passion is making money... but don't let that confuse you with my life's purpose, which is surrounding myself with successful people.  I have always really wanted those who I am connected with to be the very best that they can possibly be and to also share in my passion of making money.

When I left the US Navy many years ago, I quickly learned if I was going to make any money at all working for myself, that I had to learn to market first; whatever I chose to do for a living I was going to have to learn the secrets of convincing others to give me their money and feel good about it first. It just so happened that private investigation and bail enforcement fit my particular skill-sets and personality type at the time, which is why I settled into my eventual profession.

Building a business, private investigation agency or otherwise, happens in 5 simple steps:

1. Offer a product or service
2. Identify the pool of potential buyers for that product or service, these people are "prospects"
3. Convince a prospect to become a buyer
4. Deliver the product or service to the buyer's satisfaction
5. Repeat step #s 3 and 4

Which is the most important step in the process? Is any one of them more important than the other?

I would say that step #3 is THE most important part of building a business... trust me, I know many VERY SUCCESSFUL people and businesses in the investigations profession that do not produce a great product; they are only average investigators and their work product is usually just average, too.

The difference between the investigators and agencies that are crushing it out there and the guys who are barely making a living is that the successful group of business owners understand marketing, advertising and relationship building and take action every single day.

That's it.

If you are one of the guys or gals barely making it in your own PI, Bail Enforcement, Repo or Process Serving business I want you to know that with one minor shift in your thinking you can turn your company around and start making some money:

Stop working in your business and start working on your business

I can show you how but you have to be willing to shift your perspective from "being what you do" to "being who you are." Let me clarify what I mean:

Let's take process serving for example - assuming that you are the owner of your business it is natural to identify yourself as a process server when others ask what you do... but you are so much more than that...

You are an OWNER OF A PROCESS SERVING AGENCY!!!

You are the owner... and as the owner it is your responsibility to take care of the entire business, right? Embrace it. That means actively engaging in the 5 steps of building business not just delivering the product or service to the buyer and that means embracing each step with passion and energy.

Step #1 is easy, and unless you have the core of your business under control and are ready to add additional revenue streams then you only have to accomplish this step once. To further my previous example, let's just say that you have decided to go into the service of process business because you already understand the mechanics of process serving.

Cool. We're done with that one let's move on to step #2 and identify our pool of potential customers.

Again, easy. Ask yourself, "Who pays process servers to deliver legal documents?" Let's keep it simple right now and go with the obvious answer to start: Attorneys and Law Firms.

Check. Building Business Step #2 is done. You don't have to worry at all again about step #s 1 and 2 again until you want to expand your business into other services.

Step #3, "convince a prospect to become a buyer" is where it gets complicated, but this is what defines you as an owner rather than a process server... there's plenty of time for being a process server in step #4, "delivering the product or service."

Getting a prospect's attention and convincing him or her that they want to do business with your company is a product of marketing and advertising, without it you simply do not exist.

You are a ghost and are invisible to your prospects.

They do not buy from you.

You fail.

I can teach you to market your business or I can market your business for you. Either way, I can do it just about better than anyone else.

I have created a FREE Private Investigator Marketing Facebook page for you. Please join me right now. Click on the link and learn all of the secrets of convincing prospects into becoming buyers and turn vague marketing concepts into real marketing action.You'll be glad you did.

My purpose is that you become successful and that you might share in my passion for making money.

 

Marketing for Private Investigators on Facebook

Voodoo Hex on you, David C. Price of Boynton Beach, FL!

I had an interesting visit from an investigator with the Division of Licensing of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOL-DOACS) today. He was on a mission... to root out evil companies who do not follow the rules and fail to post their DOACS-bequeathed agency license number on anything that can be remotely construed as company advertising and string them up by their "short and curlies" for failing to obey FL F.S. 493, heretofore simply known as...

The Law.

Apparently, this all started with an email sent from Dprice3844444@aol.com to the DOACS-DOL's Bureau of Regulation and Enforcement copying a Spy Shop website that had listed approximately a dozen or so Florida private investigation agency's names, websites and company profiles; my agency was one of them. The problem, however, was that in doing so the webmaster did not post the agencies' DOACS license numbers, too, thus the reason for the visit. Undoubtedly my fellow advertisers-in-crime will be receiving visits as well.

Herr Harrell, Yer papuz puleez...

Then I had the wonderful experience of getting cozy with the (VERY POLITE) investigator for 45 minutes while we went through all of my agency documentation, advertising pieces, my complete online presence (and if you know anything about CompassPoint Investigations you know that we have a MASSIVE presence on the Internet through the various divisions of my company) and various state and county required documents, notices and posters.  I did find it a bit disconcerting that the investigator was working from old documentation and that the DOACS was sending investigators out on the basis of an unsigned complaint.

I feel like I've had my first colonoscopy and I'm not yet even 40 years old.

Needless to say, all of my documentation is in order. ZERO discrepancies. None.  The investigator agreed that I cannot be held accountable for the actions of others who I do not know, did not ask for the listing or even authorize the use of my company name in connection with this website.  Where the website owner scraped my company information from I have no earthly idea, but I suppose that I do appreciate the link-love. I harbor no ill-will to the spy shop.

So now I am sitting here getting worked up over the pettiness of this whole exercise and I just had to determine on whom I am going to cast this next Voodoo Hex; after all, I cannot in good faith send a hex via email and hope for it to have its intended consequences.

Surprisingly, it really wasn't all that hard to find out who the lucky recipient should be... here's how I did it:

First, I obtained a copy of the original complaint through an FOIA request. Here is the top page of the copy I was provided (click on image to make picture larger);

Noting that the complaint was sent via email by a "Dprice3844444@aol.com" I conducted a search on Google of Dprice3844444@aol.com which immediately led me to an interesting and gratifying find with almost no effort (click on image to make picture larger):

This is a screenshot of the first result in my Google search for Dprice3844444@aol.com. If you click on the link it just takes me to a page that lists Staples' corporate office address and a long list of customer reviews for Staples. It was easy to cobble together the address from the original search results:

706 SW 27th Ter, Boynton Beach, FL 33435

Looking at the source code of the web page I did a quick search <Ctrl+F> on "706 SW" and the following source code came up:

Seeing that the entry was dated 11/10/2010 it was much easier to find the entry in the very long list of comments. Here is a screenshot of the entry in question (click on image to make picture larger):

 

Wow! That is A LOT of very personal information to release into the wild; I certainly wouldn't want all of this out there if I was concerned about my anonymity:

Name: David C. Price
Email: dprice3844444@aol.com
Address: 706 SW 27th Terrace, Boynton Beach, FL 33435
Phone: 561-732-6947

So I wondered out loud why David C. Price would even care about The Law and I suppose for a few minutes I considered that this guy was another private investigator wallowing in his own failure as an agency owner and took solace in the warm comforting knowledge that he was causing grief for others, when clearly the agencies listed on this spy shop website probably had no fucking idea they were listed on this site to begin with and a simple fucking search of the DOACS-DOL license verification web page would have confirmed that everyone listed was properly licensed.

How about a courtesy call instead, Mr. Price???!?!?!!?

So I decided to dig a little deeper, hoping against hope that I would find some sort of satisfaction in the fact that, PERHAPS, David C. Price was not a miserable ASS-HAT and was just doing his duty as a private investigator attempting to maintain the good name of all Florida Private Investigators by weeding out the unlicensed scum masquerading around as real professionals thereby maintaining the chastity of our good and most honorable professional names...

David Charles Price is a security guard.

The uncomfortable sound of silence....

Now rage:

WTF???? I mean, W....T....F....??!?!!!?

Breathing. Deep breaths.

Maybe he owns a security guard company??? No record online of that either... just a fictitious business registration for "P & P Machine Co" back in 2007, otherwise I could not find a business belonging to him or of which he is a corporate officer via SunBiz.org.

Oh no... Please tell me that this wasn't your post, too:

"everybody needs to start filing complAINTS WITH THE FEEDERAL TRAE COMMISSION ON CRAIGSLIST.FOLKS WHO HAVE CREDIT CARD SCREWUPS,GO TO THE SECTION ON FRAUD AND FILE IT WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMANT ONLINE.RIGHT NOW FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON,MY ACCOUNT IS ON HOLD,AND I CANNOT GET ANY ANSWERS FROM THESE FATHEADS.FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU OF SAN FRANCISCO.FILE COMPLAINS WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO NEWSPAPERS,LET THEM CHECK IT OUT AND RUN COPY ON THE FATHEADS - DPRICE3844444@AOL.COM 1/5/11 8:24AM"[sic]

Alright, I get the point now. You just like to complain. Whining because your Craigslist account was put on hold? Calling them Fatheads... and urging others to file complaints with the FTC and the BBB? Oh my God. I guess we just have an aging bow hunter who calls himself "stringboy" relegated to a security post who fancies himself in another life to be machine-gunning Super Cop. Good job, Ace, you really rid the world of investigative evil-doers with that last switch-flip of the Bat Signal. If I lived in that house of yours (there is a picture of that place online) and made as many spelling and grammatical errors as you, I'd be pretty pissed off as well. (You see, I REALLY get frustrated when I cannot effectively communicate or remain coherent as well.)

I really could go much much further and really dig into your publicly available records but I've wasted an entirely good day today because of you and your petty little bitch-boy antics already, so let's just get down to the Voodoo Hex you have so rightly earned:

voodoo.  vooDOO.  VOODOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Voodoo on you David C Price of Boynton Beach, Florida for being a complaining tattle-tale, sending the law after a handful of hard-working small business owners like me and for otherwise causing the needless plunder of our Florida DOACS coffers. Voodoo on your Craigslist account also, just because it obviously really pisses you off and causes great consternation. Now you know how I feel having been through my day today.

I can't wait to see what you're going to do when you finally find and read this post! You'll probably totally flip your lid and do really crazy stuff... or not... because I'm sending an extra large sized helping of Voodoo your way and to quote you quoting others, "well,to quote robert duval,"i love the smell of napalm in the morning.""[sic]

voodoo.  vooDOO.  VOODOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW... Thank you, David, for recycling your used ink cartridges and setting a good hexample for others.

Georgia Private Investigator Continuing Education

First, I admit that the El Scott Harrell blog needs a lot more care and attention, but to my defense I have been extremely busy doing many other things like running a great private investigation agency, developing new courses, going through the arduous process of getting certified as a continuing education instructor in states that require CE for private investigators, building the various social networks that support the seperate divisions of CompassPoint Investigations and keeping our FREE online PI magazine, Pursuit Magazine, interesting and informative as well.

Breathe. (Just a mental reminder for myself, Dear Reader, not meant for you necessarily though I highly recommend the practice of breathing regularly.)

Here is a sneak peek behind the scenes of what I go through on a regular basis:

Perhaps the greatest success I've had lately, besides transitioning my oldest daughter to her "big girl bed" that allows her to get up and wander around the house at any givent time while the rest of us are asleep, as that we endured and overcame the eight month ordeal of obtaining my Georgia Private Investigator Classroom Intructor license from the GA Board of Private Detectives and Security Agencies:

Georgia Private Investigator Continuing Education

(I say "we endured" because I am not sure that I would have had the fortitude to endure the entire process without my Office Ninja, Stephanie.)

Why would I call it an ordeal?

Because the process has actually been 1 year and 8 months in the making... We lost the first year (and a couple hundred dollars) entirely because the Board somehow lost responses they required in reference to my application until my application statutorily expired, which required a new application and more fingerprints that have to be taken somewhere within the state of Georgia (5 hours away).

During the re-application process they, of course, required the same responses again and then we would not hear back from anyone at the GA Board at all. We watched the minutes being posted after every Board meeting.

Nothing.

Everyone we called could not give us a direct answer as to where we were in the process but everyone promised a call back with information. No return calls. We made calls and sent emails to individual Board members; they also went unreturned.

Isn't that peachy?

Eventually, through dogged determination and ol' fashioned investigative techniques, Stephanie reached the director in person. He couldn't explain why the process was dragging out so long except to say that they were trying to process hundreds of applications and that he would look into it.

HAHAHAHA! Yeah, right.

Three or four weeks later I called him back and that's where it got difficult (for Stephanie - LOL).

It seemed that in order to teach continuing education to PI's in Georgia we had to now submit an entire course curriculum for the 80 hour entry-level private detective course required bofe anyone can get a PI license in the state. Writing a course syllabus of this nature and complexity and following GA law is not an easy task; that meant an additional 3 weeks of research and development and more weeks or months of waiting to see what additional hoops through which we would be required to jump.

Did I mention that we (Stephanie) had to write an entire course on Private Investigators working with the Department of Homeland Security, too? There went another 2 months while we (Stephanie) feverishly banged out another college textbook quality course manual.

Here we are today and I am proud to say, "Mission Accomplished!"

This shouldn't have been a tough process. I more than meet the state's statutory requirements for licensure and we followed the letter of the law when it came to the application process. Truth be told, I smelled a rat 2 years ago when I initially started the application process and conveniently paperwork started getting held up or lost in the shuffle. I certainly cannot confirm that someone was actively working against me, but I do know that several people who had access to my application also provide continuing education to Georgia Private Investigators. I can certainly understand that having PIeducation.com come into a marketspace is probably going to be disruptive to the established players.

We pride ourselves in providing great education at a very low price through the most convenient method possible; if our competitors do not or can not, then they have reason to worry. While equally disturbing, I did find some comfort and solace in knowing that other private investigators were going through the same ordeal in getting their professional licensing in place with the GA Board of Private Detectives and Security Agencies. I'm sorry that I kind of rejoiced in hearing their not too unfamiliar stories. Misery really does love company.

BTW- GA Board of Private Detectives and Security Agencies, you all narrowly dodged a Voodoo Hex. Consider yourselves lucky.

Breathe.

It's good to be back.

Online Private Investigator Magazine Develops Huge Reach

There are many exciting things developing at Pursuit Magazine these days and many things yet to come!

We launched our Private Investigator Jobs board several weeks ago and have attracted both Job Seekers and Employers in equal numbers.  The investigation career part of our portal is proving to be an extremely valuable addition to the community and we are getting really incredible reviews as new jobs are being added every day.

Our Pursuit Magazine Facebook Fan Page continues to grow by 10 or 12 people every day without a great deal of effort and we are appreciative of everyone who is becoming actively involved in contributing to the community.  The fan page initially served as one of the ways we let our subscribers know when we posted new articles, but it has grown into a great deal more than that at this point; ideas are being discussed more fully, people are offering suggestions on how to continually improve and best of all, the support encouragement we receive makes it a worthwhile project for me.

If you are on Facebook and have a professional interest in private investigation, bail enforcement, process serving, repossession, security and skip tracing, then check out the fan page...

We are getting traffic from all over the world now as our online PI magazine is now available in 7 languages including Portuguese, French, Italian, Spanish, German, English and  Russian- making us the only TRUE international PI Magazine.  We are welcoming, on average, well over 4,500 unique visitors everyday now and have in excess of 6,200 subscribers to our RSS feed through FeedBurner.

Just stay tuned!

Arizona Process Server Continuing Education is Online

PIEducation.com today announced the formal acceptance by the Supreme Court of Arizona of its online Arizona process server continuing education course.

PIEducation.com’s online course titled, Advanced Skip Tracing Techniques for Professional Process Servers, written by veteran private investigator and skip tracing expert L. Scott Harrell, has been approved for ten hours of CE credit.

Process servers certified by the Arizona Supreme Court must obtain 10 hours of continuing education every year in order to maintain their certification and can meet their total education requirement for the year with this one course.

In business since July 1, 2002, PIEducation.com is the undisputed market leader in state-approved online continuing education for private investigators and adding course content for process servers was a natural fit.  All courses have been designed "by working Investigators... for working Investigators" and no other online continuing education provider can honestly make that claim.  We understand that there are other education service providers to choose from. However, you will find that there is no other continuing education service provider that can match our level of professionalism, experience and consistency. 

As of January 2010, PIEducation.com has conferred over 52,000 CE hours to over 4,400 licensees in twelve (12) states including Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Oregon, Kansas, Kentucky, South Carolina, New Mexico, Georgia, Louisiana, Iowa and now, Arizona.

Towing versus Salvage- How a Boat Towing Service will Rip You Off

“Towing  vs Salvage”
By C. C. Thorsen

Boaters should not assume anything when it comes to boating. If you are a boater and have not taken a towing/salvage 101 course let me speak from experience and recommend that you do not wait until you need a tow to find out the coverage you have. Trust me there is a big different in the cost. Most of the boaters that I know have some type of towing insurance. However, there are different levels of coverage just as any other types of insurance. You should take the time to read and understand the amount of coverage you have. For example, do you know the difference in a simple tow, a soft grounding, a hard grounding, and salvage? 

On November 14th, 2008 I had a very unpleasant experience in my 72’ houseboat when a very strong wind picked up during the night of an overnight trip and caused my stern anchor to drag and blew me parallel to the beach. The wind also caused the tide to go out very fast leaving me in very shallow water. At 6:00 AM the next morning (11/15/08) when I awoke to find that I had a problem, my boat was still floating but I would need some help to have it pulled into deeper water.

I called my towing service and explained my situation to them and advised them that the tide was still going out and very fast. I was asked if I/we, or my boat was in any danger and I told them that we were not. Even though they were only thirty five to forty minutes away from me they did not arrive until 9:15 AM and by that time I did not have any water under a large portion of my boat.

When the tow boat arrived the Captain determined that this was a “hard grounding” and had me sign the contract. He then attempted to pull my boat straight back parallel with the beach but it would not move. Even though none of the conditions changed other than he was going to pull the stern of the boat out away from the beach the captain advised me that this was going to turn into “salvage” instead of a hard ground tow. I was not sure exactly what he was talking about however he asked me if I had hull insurance and he wanted to see my insurance policy. He stated that my insurance company would not have problem with his charge of $125.00 per foot ($9,000.00). I said but what about my $4,000.00 deductible, he said that he was sorry about that .He then had me initial the original contract showing it as a salvage.  The captain then proceeded to place a large water pump on the back of my boat (though he never started the engine) and stuck oil soaks rags in the engine compartment vents, he said this was to prevent water from coming into the engine compartment which was not necessary because the water level never got high enough for any water to come into the vents. He then pulled the stern of the boat around into deeper water and with the help of my two engines the boat was backed off the sand. In the Captain’s written report he stated that my boat was taking on water which it was not but I assume that was his justification for changing it to a salvage. The moral to this story is that had this been classified as a “hard ground tow” (and that is what it was) instead of a “salvage” the Captain would have earned approximately $1,000.00 which was covered by my unlimited coverage with Boat US instead of the $9,000.00 of which I would have to pay $4,000.00. Had I known the difference in the types of “tows and salvage” I would not have signed the agreement contract until I had a better understanding of why it was being changed from a tow to a salvage.
